AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
DETAIL
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING IS THE EMERGING BRANCH OF ENGINEERING, WITH LOTS OF DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPLORATIONS TAKING PLACE IN FLIGHT VEHICLES.INSTEADOF A PALETTE OFCOLORS, THE AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER HAS HIS OWN ARTIST'S PALETTE OF OPTIONS. HOW HE MIXES THESE ENGINEERING OPTIONS ON HIS TECHNOLOGICAL PALETTE AND APPLIES THEM TO HIS CANVAS (DESIGN) DETERMINES THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS AIRPLANE / FLIGHT VEHICLE. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS ARE THE MAN BEHIND THESE FLYING MACHINES. TO BECOME AN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER, ONE MUST DO B.TECH (AERONAUTICAL).
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING DURATION
IT IS A FOUR-YEAR DEGREE PROGRAM. IT'S SPREAD OVER EIGHT SEMESTERS. DURING THIS PERIOD STUDENTS WILL HAVE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CLASSES ALONG WITH INTERNSHIPS AT THE END OF EACH EVEN SEMESTER.
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION
MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION INTO B.TECH. AERONAUTICAL IS:
APPLICANT MUST PASS 10+2 WITH PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, AND MATHEMATICS OR EQUIVALENT. STUDENTS HAVING ANY OTHER OPTIONAL SUBJECT IN PLACE OF CHEMISTRY ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE. E.G. COMPUTER SCIENCE IN PLACE OF CHEMISTRY ALONG WITH PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS.
SCOPE FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
INDIA IS THE THIRD LARGEST AVIATION MARKET, WITH LOTS OF SCOPE TO BECOME THE WORLD’S LARGEST AVIATION MARKET IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AFTER INDIAN GOVERNMENT’S MAKE-IN-INDIA POLICY, LOTS OF AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS HAVE STARTED OUTSOURCING THE DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING OF AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS IN INDIA. ALL THESE COMPANIES ARE LOOKING FOR SKILLED AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS TO BE EMPLOYED IN THEIR COMPANIES.
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS JOB PROFILE
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS DESIGN AND TEST PRODUCTS FOR AIRCRAFTS, SPACECRAFTS, SATELLITES, AND MISSILES. THIS INVOLVES TASKS SUCH AS CREATING AND TESTING PROTOTYPES, DEVELOPING CRITERIA FOR DESIGN METHODS, CHECKING PROPOSALS, AND COORDINATING TEAMS FROM DESIGN TO MANUFACTURING. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME IN AN OFFICE-BASED ENVIRONMENT, USING SOFTWARE DESIGN TOOLS AND SIMULATION SOFTWARE FOR TESTING AND TRAINING.
